Chapter 1008 Being Taken Advantage
The following scene had taken place In the presidential suite of Wolf Group Hotel. Fandrey was practicing calligraphy in his study room. Angel then came in with a cup of tea and said, "Grandpa, I brought you tea! I have made it myself!"
Fandrey placed the brush down from his hand and glanced at her with a gentle smile on his face. "Thank you so much!"
"No problem! Grandpa, do have a taste and be the judge whether there is any improvement in my tea-making skills," Angel replied while handing the cup to Fandrey.
Fandrey opened the lid and took a sniff. "Hmm, not bad! You've improved tremendously!"
"Really? Are you sure that I have become better at it? Grandpa, you are not fooling around with me, aren't you?"
"Of course not. It's much better than before... at least compared to when we were abroad," Fandrey replied while taking a seat with a smile on his face. It was impossible for him to not adore Angel, his only granddaughter. He was merely upset at her reckless behavior last time. However, Angel had repented her mistakes and was busy studying during this period of time. Fandrey had assumed that she decided to turn into a new leaf.
"Do come clean to me. What is on your mind by making such a good cup of tea for me?"
"Nothing. I have no request towards anything!" Angel shook her head.
"Are you sure? You ought to be straightforward with me. Do voice out your desires without feeling embarrassed. I will make your wish come true if it's logical since you are my only granddaughter."
"I truthfully don't have anything that I want from you." Angel continued to shake her head. She giggled upon seeing the disbelieving look on Fandrey's face and said, "Grandpa, I am a little worried about my father. He does not seem to be in a good mood these days."
"It's fine. You need not feel bothered as he would eventually solve his own problems."
"It is impossible for me to turn a blind eye on this matter as I am already an adult. You, grandma, mummy, and daddy had been protecting me since young. I need to be strong enough to safeguard you guys from now onwards. I aspire to be the shield of the Floyd family."
Fandrey burst into laughter and said, "You're a rather ambitious person! I am not even aware that you want to be our guardian angel!"
Angel did feel that she was over exaggerating stuff. However, she had an ulterior motive in mind apart from showing loyalty towards Fandrey. "Grandpa, stop mocking me already. I genuinely want to treat you guys good. For your information, I have begun to learn how to manage a company!"
"Really? When did you start learning such a skill?"
"Well, not long ago. I told my father about this idea as I felt that it is unwise for me to continue wasting my time like this. He encouraged me to give it a shot. Grandpa, do you think that I am worthy of trying things out?"
"Of course! This is a pleasant thing to hear. You are the only heir of the Floyd family and the company will eventually be handed over to you. Your grandma, father, and I would be pleased if you have the ability to manage it well."
Fandrey spoke with a sincere tone. It was normal for human beings to be ambitious and opportunistic. He felt pitiful that he had no grandson who could carry on the Floyd family's bloodline. Angel was not talented in managing a company if he were, to be honest. However, she would not be easily swayed by others should she study hard and continue to enhance her skill set.
"Grandpa, you need not worry as I would definitely humble down and put much effort into my studies." Angel continued to say how filial she would become seeing the delightful look on his face. She seized the perfect timing and immediately changed the subject to Azalea, "Grandpa, you are aware of a person named Azalea Clark, aren't you?"
"Are you talking about the female idol who tried to come between you and Valeria last time?" Fandrey had an unpleasant impression of Azalea. He frowned upon hearing her name.
"Yes, you're right. Grandpa, I shall let you know that she is now the world ambassador of the products under the Floyd family."
"You must have gotten things mixed up, right? How could she be the chosen one judging by her bossy attitude?" Fandrey was feeling skeptical about it.
"No, I am absolutely sure about this matter. My father was the one who had approved it. I overheard his call and he said that he would like to hire Azalea as the spokesperson." Angel was very observant about Fandrey. She continued to add fuel to the fire upon seeing that he was not terribly upset about it, "I've been recently studying on how to manage a company and paid special attention to this matter. Based on my opinion, Azalea has a poor personality and she is not very popular either. She has no solid acting skills as well. How could she end up becoming the global ambassador of the Floyd family? This will definitely affect the reputation of our family!"
"You're right. The Floyd family's criteria of becoming a brand spokesperson do not require one to be absolutely sought-after and have strong acting skills. However, one must definitely have a good character to succeed in this," Fandrey was on the same boat with Angel.
"Grandpa, you are also on the same page with me, aren't you? I do think that my father has made a rather hasty decision. I then commenced a background check on Azalea and found something that blew my mind."
"What is it?" Fandrey asked.
"Grandpa, you have to promise me in keeping this a secret from my dad. He would definitely give me a hard time if he knew about it!"
"Of course. Now spill the beans, what did you manage to find out?"
"I have found out the reason why Azalea was appointed as the international spokesperson of the Floyd family's brand. She did not achieve it through her capability but her aunt was the one who made her wish come true. Azalea's aunt gotten ahold of Rammos in coming to an agreement about this matter. He decided to lend Azalea a helping hand as rumors said that both Rammos and Azalea's aunt was having an affair."
"But..." Fandrey was stunned and questioned, "Who told you about this? Who on earth is the aunt of Azalea?"
"Grandpa, it is not important as to who I have received the information from. The point is that I went to investigate things myself and found that it was true. Azalea's aunt is called Emily Poland and she seems to be one of my dad's friends. I do recall that my dad took me to the hospital and paid her a visit last time."
Fandrey had a displeased look on his face the moment he heard the name of Emily. Angel continued speaking, "I have also gotten ahold of something else with regards to the dispute between Rammos and Braelynn. Rammos met with Emily for an emergency meetup session. This was why he had stood Braelynn up and got onto her nerves."
"Alright then. This is all the information that you have managed to gather. Do you have any evidence on hand?"
"Nope. I only managed to hear things myself."
"Okay, you can leave now. Do instruct Sammuel to see me as I would like to have a word with him."
Angel knew that everything was going according to her plan upon hearing Fandrey's firm decision to question Sammuel. She was confident that things would go down for Azalea in becoming the global ambassador of the Floyd family's brand.
Sammuel quickly entered the study room and inquired, "Mr. Floyd, are you looking for me?"
"I would like to ask you about something important. You are aware that Callum had decided to hire Azalea in working for the company, aren't you?"
"I just received news and was going to notify you about it."
"Haha. Don't you think that it is too coincidental? Are you planning to hide from me for a few more days if Angel did not tell me about it?" Fandrey glared at him and questioned further, "You ought to come clean to me. Are you aware that Azalea is the niece of Emily?"
"Yes, I just got to know about it as well!"
"You are indeed... Why are you always one step behind others? Is this your style of commencing your job?"
Sammuel was not bold enough to refute his query. He lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Floyd, do calm down and please hear me out. I do think that Lady Angel has been taken advantage of by someone else!"
"What? Who is it? Do explain things clearly to me!"
"Mr. Floyd, I found out about it by accident. Both you and Mrs. Floyd were not at home that day. I came back to get something and overheard Lady Angel making a call in her room. She said that..." Sammuel lowered his voice further while filling Fandrey in about the entire picture. The facial expression of Fandrey became increasingly gloomy upon hearing about it and said, "Are you sure about this? Holy shit!"
